Anyone who's written a query letter knows it can get tough to succinctly sell yourself, but when I'm writing a cover letter for a comic book property, I have to account not one but three sets of credentials - myself, my co-writer and my artist. How do I write a query/cover letter to sell my project without giving too much/too little info on my team? Has anyone else ran into this problem before?

Stick to pitching the story and mention the creative team on the periphery. "My co-writer, John Smith, as well as our artist, Ted Johnson, are flexible and ready to work with you." or something like that. And that's about all. You'll have ample time to offer your resumés when the time presents itself.

You're pitching the product, so, the query should be centered around getting that in the door. :)
